It may not take ‘10 bullets to kill a deer’, but… an unloaded AR-15 protected a household

Brewster, N.Y. – 1/24/2013 – The Department of Homeland Security is the latest to find Governor Cuomo’s anti-Second Amendment agenda is at odds with reality. A report by Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com cites a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and member components such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeking over 7,000 AR-15’s and matching 30 round clips.

The RFP describes these weapons as “personal defense weapons” and states they are “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.” Governor Cuomo in his recently passed “SAFE Act” has banned these very same modern sporting rifles and clips the federal government finds to be “personal defense weapons.”

This federal government rebuke of Cuomo comes just hours after news broke that two students from Rochester lives were evidently saved by an AR-15 as armed intruders entered their home. The very same personal defense weapon Cuomo plans to take out of law abiding gun owners hands protected two of New York’s best and brightest.

Senator Greg Ball (Patterson – R, C, I) Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee said, “Now the Department of Homeland Security even agrees that these modern sporting firearms, made illegal by Governor Cuomo, are suitable for self defense. On top of that, a recent story reports that two RIT students who were legal gun owners were protected by an AR-15. The story may have had a very tragic ending, had Governor Cuomo’s anti-self defense bill been in full effect. If the story is accurate, their legal ownership of this modern sporting rifle evidently saved their lives. While Cuomo says ‘it doesn’t take 10 bullets to kill a deer’, it evidently only took an unloaded AR-15 to protect a household. Luckily these criminals struck before Governor Cuomo’s gun grab was fully unleashed.”

LE and agencies of the Federal governemnt has a lot of stuff that you're not allowed to have

This is nothing new

newsflash, the bill Fienstupid is putting forward exempts herself, government officials and retired law enforement. The point being that all of these people want them for "personal protection" and because, "criminals won't follow the rules" lol...

Yet we the citizen have to deal w these same criminals every day that the police feel the need to defend themselves w AR's right? But we cant have AR's to defend ourselves against these same criminals right?

I also lol'd.

I don't understand their logic... We (citizens) don't need them/shouldn't have them to protect ourselves (not even getting into the other legitimate sporting uses for the rifles), but government officials and retired LE need/should be able to have them to defend themselves.

Epic. Lulz.

You're trash and thus expendable. People like Feinstein are special because they're parasites who chose to park their asses in congress for decades on end.

It's not even Feinstein that bothers me, I'm sure plenty of people would love to assissinate her ass so I can slightly understand that... What bothers me is why retired LE need them to defend themselves, but we shouldnt? Does that even make any sense? Joe-fuckin-blow retired street cop needs an AR to defend himself but your average citizen does not?

Joe Blow is different from a retired cop who barely went to the range never shot a bullett in the line of duty how?

I think including guys like LE and retired LE is done to appease them and keep them on her side. If they're pushing to take your guns away but they give you a pass because you're going to be the one enforcing said law, I'd reckon you'd be more likely to enforce the law as it wouldn't affect you in any way.

Exactly my point, Joe-fucking-blow retired street cop that has no more of a valid reason to need to defend himself any more than any other random citizen should be able to have an AR, but we shouldn't?
